We have manufactured a

and we propose to offer them

We have every reason to be-
Iieve they are the best suits
we have ever seen for these
reasons:
Ist. The goods are the best
quality "MiddIesex," full In
digo and warranted absolute
Iy fast coIors. Many who are
not familiar with the various
grades of Blue FIannels have
an idea that all "MiddIesex"
goods are the same. Such Is
not the case however. There
are different weights, differ
ent grades, different shades,
and different costs, for the
different qualities. Our" mid

the best flannel produced by
that celebrated mill.

tie heavier than most makes
are firmer, hold their shape
better, fit better and wear
longer.

very finest stock and are
guaranteed free from all cot
ton and shoddy mixtures.

BiIiousness

The bitter taste. offensive breath, coated tongue,

appetite make the victim miserable, and disagree

medicinal effects without the least disturbance to
the whole system. This preparation is so well
balanced in its actions upon the alimentary canal,

and the circulation Of the blood, that it brings
about healthy action of the entire human organ

RAILWAY MATTERS.
ABoLIsHING COMMISSIONS.

The latest issue of the Financier in dis
eussing the attempt now making by some of
the trunk lines to abolish commissions on
passenger business, summarizes the proba-
BILE result of the enforcement of such regu-
lation in Boston railroad circles in this wise:
"The situation in Boston will be badly
mixed. The Boston & Albany will, of course,
accept anything its ally, the New York Gen.
trail, offers, but the Fitchburg will be 10th to
throw up its right to fight for business
through any source it might expect to obtain
IT. Mr.. Hanson has never really favored the
commission business, but the circumstances
OF the past almost forced its acceptance up
on him, and he will, no doubt, be only too
pleased for good cause for assuming bold
front. But he cannot afford to do so unless
the f1tchburg, the Lowell and the Boston q
Maine can be brought into the pool. With
any OF these lines opposed, he could look for
no second class business west bound to, and
but little of any kind east bound from, Chi
cago and st. Louis. Mr.. Watson holds three
strings to his bow for through business. The
West Shore is of course, controlled by the
Central, and the position of Erie is fairly
well established as being with the strong
lines, but his route via Rutland, the Central
Vermont and Grand Trunk is always open
to him, and offers him good second-class
line over which he could send vast amount
of traffic. If he refuses to help this north
line, the Lowell will do the business into
Boston via Wells River, or over the Pas
sumpsic and Southeastern, or the Maine will
accept it via Portland. Trouble may be
looked for in New England under these con-
ditions, and, as it will be hard to separate
freight and passenger business, there is but
little doubt that the whole traffic arrange

to the Missouri river and beyond, which re-

large amount of this class of business to the

were from two to six cents hundred lower.

an arrangement with the Grand Trunk,

TARIFF REFORM MEETING IN
NEW YORK.

The meeting under the auspices of
tho Free Trade Club last evening
was Il large Que, and the popularity
OF II was that it was made up mostly
of %laGouring men of the more ~intelIi-
gent class. This fact was doubtless
due to the presence Of Henry George
as II Of tho speakers, and he was
received with much more marked
enthusiasm than any other of the
speakers. His speech WA the "fea-
ture" of the meeting, and it is likely
10 have q gool deal OF influence with
the class which for the time IL so
warmly and closely attached TO him.
That, of course. is a very great gain
for the cause OF tariff reform, because
if these men get 10 thinking for them
selves on the subject they will not be
long in discovering how much real
injury the protective tariff does them,
while its advocates pretend that it Is
intended purely for the benefit of
American labOuring men. The only
argument by which this curious
pretence is sustained is that il the
manufacturer is enabled to make big
profits he can pay higher wages.
But when the workisgmen examine
the question whether the mannfac-
turer really does pay any higher
wages than he is forced 10 pay they
will soon make IN end of this empty
sophistry.
The reinfoi cement Of the. tariff
reform movements. by the workingmen
under the lead Of NJ. Henry George
would be a very direct and powerful
advantage, and this would. be go even
if Mr.. George insists, rs he did last
night, that he only ~favours The aboli.

broke Out on or near a Government
wharf Ia Detroit, As there were no

the wharf would doubtless have been

III charge had not succeeded in at
tracing the attention Of a tugboat,
which clme to the wharf and put out
the fire. For this service the Captain
OF the tusbOat rendered a bill for SAG,
which was paid by the officer in
charge and forwarded to Washington
with an explanation and a demand for
reimbursement. The auditing officer
thre" out the bill upon the ground
that the expenditure was unauthorized
by law, since there had been no ndyerS
'ISem"nf, no proposals, no sureties,
and consequently no assurance that
the work had been awarded 10 the
Lowest bidder. The unfortunate Off
Ger will have to pocket the loss he
incurred in saving some hundreds or
thousands of dollars worth of public
property, unless he can get a bill
through Congress to pay him $40.

as well to prepare another which will

Not a soulless Corporation

If Corporations are soulless, as
some people claim, not all the officials
are, as was evidenced in the pathetic
occurrence few nights ago. Daniel
FRYE, a brakeman in the service of
the Chicago, st. Louis and Pittsburg
railway, fell between two cars OF a
moving train, the merciless wheels
crushing off both legs. The unfortu-
nate man was removed toa comforta-,
BILE place at Bradford Junction. Be-
ing told by the attending surgeon that
he could not survive the injury he was
asked if he wished to send any mes
sage to his family, and he replied that
he would not die until his wife could
come to him. The surgeon shook his
head in a doubling manner. The
bleeding, helpless but conscious
brakeman, knowing that every one
despaircd of his life, again assured
them, this time more determinediy
than before, that be would foil the
plans of his master Death until his
wife in person could receive his fare
well! When Mr.. Charles Watts, one
of the superintendent OF the Fan
Handle system, received telegratic
advice of the accident and the dying
mans wish, he ordered his most ex-
perienced and courageous engineer to
attach his locomotive to coach and
convey hrs. Frye to the side OF her
husband. In ten minutes from the
time the order was given the special
left Logansport with the wife on board.
To Bradford Junction is 13 miles.
The night was stormy. Superinten-
dent Watts stood at the back Of the
telegraph operator, and in flashes OF
electricity ordered all trains on 10
side tracks. Through the darkness
and the storm the especial whirled
upon its mission of devotion and love.
The villagers who hover around depot
stoves at way stations on winter nights
crowded out upon the platforms and
stood in respectful silence as the
mighty locomotive daZed both sight
and hearing for an instant only
Steel rails vibrated under wheels
which were measuring over sixty miles
an hour. The engineer knew that
God and n good road-bed were in his
favor. As he backed his driving
wheels at Bradford station his engine
seemed rs conscious of victory as
does the race-horse when leading
under the wire. The brakeman had
kept his word. Husband and wife
embraced. Bystanders, blinded by
pitying tears, left the two alone for q
moment. For with the kiss and the
farewell the brakeman closed his eyes
and Chicago Mail.
